Best PVD Daytona

I'm interested in a PVD Black Daytona, who are the good ones when it comes to this treatment?
I was thinking Bamford and Sons, any suggestions?

Pretty sure it's 'Bamford Watch Department' - unless you're thinking of 'Mumford and Sons'?!

I do think some of the Bamford work is pretty unique though, just wouldn't be my particular blend of tea.

The best PVD is no PVD. Why would you want to mess up a perfectly good watch?

Have to agree but still its there watch and whatever floats your boat, myself cannot stand PVD watches IMHO its just a very very costly fashion trend with a very limited market.

Costs a lot to do and loses a ton on the secondary market, be sure you want to do/keep it.

Have to agree, if you're planning on making a "lifetime" watch then whatever floats your boat but if you ever have any intention of flipping it you'll probably loose a lot of $$$. You didn't ask for these opinions but...
